Yellow card for (MSV Duisburg)
The MSv goalkeeping coach complains vehemently about a free-kick position and sees a yellow card.

19:33
As after the first Osnabrück goal, MSV is now very low and can hardly get forward, can they hit back out of nowhere?
29
19:31
Again it goes left over Opoku, who again plays a ball perfectly into the path of his teammate, Klaas fails from an acute angle on the outer post.

Tooor for VfL Osnabrück, 1: 2 by Ba-Muaka Simakala
Osnabrück is ahead again. Opoku has too much space on the left, then plays a great pass into Heider’s run, which crosses six meters in front of the goal. There Simakala slips into the ball and kicks it into goal.

19:27
Now both teams are taking things a little easier, Osnabrück is looking for gaps in the MSV defence, Duisburg are lurking for counterattack opportunities.

19:23
After 20 minutes it can be said that it is a fast game between two good teams, both of which are looking for a way forward.

19:21
Bouhaddouz finds Yeboah, who prevails against two players and doesn’t hesitate for long from a central position. His shot from around 17 meters rushes just past the upper left corner.

19:18
Offside hit VFL!
A nice Schittstellenpass from Klass finds Heider on the left in the penalty area, who hits but was probably offside, still 1:1.

Tooor for MSV Duisburg, 1:1 by Moritz Stoppelkamp
Compensation out of nowhere! Knoll plays a long diagonal ball on the right, where Bouhaddouz wins the header duel in the penalty area, Yeboah passes the ball perfectly to Stoppelkamp, who scores from around six meters to make it 1-1.

The VFL continues to play forward and goes for the second goal, the MSV is just not coming forward.

Tooor for VfL Osnabrück, 0:1 by Sebastian Klaas
Early leadership for the VFL! Opoku wins the header duel in the middle and brings the ball to Heider, who shields the ball well with his back to the goal and puts it in Klaas’ path. He has far too much space on the left, penetrates into the penalty area and hits the bottom right corner with a low shot from the penalty area line.

19:07
Lively start here in Duisburg, both teams are looking for a way forward.

19:06
First connection of the VFL. Klaas also tries around 20 meters, central position, no problem for Coppens.

19:05
Heider gets a free kick out of the half field on the right, but Opoku’s cross sails through the entire penalty area, there is no danger.

19:02
The ball rolls, Duisburg has kicked off.
18:59
Led by referee Nicolas Winter, the teams come to the stadium and the action is about to start.
18:47
Incidentally, due to the incidents in December, both teams decided today to wear a special jersey, which will be flocked with messages against discrimination and exclusion.
18:42
In NRW, there is still a spectator limit of 750 people for football games, which is why the arena will be very empty again today…. But it has just leaked out that up to 10,000 spectators should be allowed in the stadiums again in the future!
18:37
In the first half of the season, it was a Stoppelkamp penalty that gave the Meiderichers a 1-0 lead, after which they didn’t really do much in the league. It remains to be seen whether they can trip the favorite from Osnabrück again today.
18:32
At the VFL, on the other hand, coach Daniel Scherning changes twice. For Kunze and Higl (both bench) Klaas and Simakala, the double goal scorer from last weekend, start today.
18:28
There are no changes on the part of the MSV in terms of personnel. Coach Hagen Schmidt still has to do without his red-suspended number one in goal, Coppens is again between the posts. And otherwise it’s the same eleven as last Saturday.
18:19
Now let’s get to the same thing. After the surprising 1-0 win against Wiesbaden last weekend, MSV is back on top of the game and can increase the gap to the relegation zone to four points today. After the last-minute draw against Borussia Dortmund II, Osnabrück could draw level with Eintracht Braunschweig, third in the table, if they win today.
18:11
With regard to the racist remarks, the public prosecutor’s office announced in January that the investigation had been discontinued because sufficient suspicion could not be established. The stadium ban against the alleged perpetrator issued by MSV was also withdrawn. Let’s all just hope that the sporting aspect alone will be the focus today!
18:05
The game between these two teams is marked by special signs: On December 19 last year, the game was first interrupted when the score was 0-0 and then stopped after Aaron Opoku from Osnabrück was allegedly racially insulted by a spectator. After this incident, the guests from Lower Saxony were no longer able to continue playing. The MSV also immediately showed solidarity and condemned what happened in the strongest possible terms. The DFB finally decided to schedule a replay.
18:00
Hello and welcome to the third division replay between MSV Duisburg and VFL Osnabrück. Kick-off in the Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena in Duisburg is at 7 p.m.!
